In most of the world, this is the beginning of vacation season. These days, creativity has returned. The money we spend has become far less important than the time and the people with which we spend it.

Gather 'RoundIf you sell stuff, make stuff, promote stuff, write stuff, create stuff, think of stuff, market stuff or do anything else with stuff – a.k.a. live on planet earth – this time will give you a fresh perspective. It's probably a great time for us to remember the origins of social media.

Gather 'Round

It's a time to get immersed in the original social network – the cottage, the campfire, the family gathering, the local bar or sporting event to share ideas, precious time and clear your mind.

It feels like the perfect time for some inspiring words…

Cooperation is the thorough conviction that nobody can get there unless everybody gets there.Virginia Burden

In union there is strength.Aesop

No road is long with good company.Turkish Proverb

No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.H.E. Luccock

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. William Shakespeare

There is more to life than increasing its speed.Mohandas Gandhi

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up.Mark Twain

We need not destroy the past. It is gone.John Cage

The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.Henry Ward Beecher
